Comment
Minted under the Law 22MAR1663Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the XX Réis "Vintem" coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Afonso VI of Portugal, who was also known as Afonso the Victorious. He ruled Portugal from 1656 to 1683 and was instrumental in the country's victory in the Portuguese Restoration War against Spain. The coin's design, which features the king's crowned bust on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other, reflects the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
